Black Sabbath had put itself back on track both musically and commercially with the 1980 album HEAVEN AND HELL, as the addition of new vocalist Ronnie James Dio was the shot in the arm Sabbath needed. A follow-up was released one year later, MOB RULES, which follows in the same mega-decibel approach as its predecessor. While it is still a vast improvement over Sabbath's final two albums with Ozzy Osbourne (1976's TECHNICAL ECSTASY and 1978's NEVER SAY DIE), it doesn't exactly match the inspired performances and top compositions featured on HEAVEN AND HELL.

The opening track, "Turn Up the Night," kicks off the album with a jolt of electricity, while other hard rocking highlights include the mid-paced "Voodoo" and the raging title track--the latter would be featured on the soundtrack to the cult animated movie, HEAVY METAL. Another standout was the near eight-minute epic "The Sign of the Southern Cross," which starts as a gentle acoustic composition, before transforming into a classic slice of plodding Sabbath metal. Although Dio had been a major factor in returning Sabbath back from the dead, he would leave the group under less than amicable circumstances after the release of the 1982 live album LIVE EVIL.

Live Recording

Recorded at The Record Plant, Los Angeles, California.

Black Sabbath: Ronnie James Dio (vocals); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass); Vinnie Appice (drums).

4 stars Dio rocks with Tony
I'm not a big fan of replacing integral parts of a band but in this case it was a big improvement. Dio and Tony playing together is inspiring with some great songs that make Ozzy's period seem second class. This is the second best of the three albums that Dio recorded with Black Sabbath. The best being Heaven and Hell.

4 stars Sabbath rules!
Vinnie Appice drums on this one.Once again,great tunes,smokin' performance of the band.A good follow up to heaven and hell,though i still like heaven and hell more.But hey,this one still rocks.The drums sound more 'acoustic' and live,becoming the trademark sound in Dio's solo albums(holy diver etc.)Get the Live Evil CD,together with this and heaven and hell,and you'll have the best of sabbath after Ozzy's term.

5 stars If you listen to fools, THE MOB RULES!
Once again AWESOME! Dio is flawless, Iommi, Butler, Appice, tear it up! The era of Sabbath with RJD behind the mic are definitely some of the best! I suggest if you don't own this album. Get it now!

5 stars Best than Heaven and Hell!!!!
This album is excellent! Now, the lyrics are written by more Sabbath´s members and they are really good. Dio has a great voice (I think it´s better singer than Ozzy), Iommi, Appice and Buttler make a good work here. The album has the strenght of Heaven and Hell and better lyrics also. I think Mob Rules and Dehumanizar are the best works with Ronnie James Dio and, perhaps, the best Sabbath´s albums withouth their original singer. The best songs : Turn up the light, Vodoo, The sing of the soutern cross,the dark and creepy E5150,Mob Rules and Falling off the edge of the world. The song "Mob rules" appears in the movie "Heavy Metal" as part of its soundtrack. If you are a Black Sabbath fan and you adore Dio´s work, this is an album you must have!!!!

5 stars One of The 8 Great Sabbath Studio albums!!!
This album along with the first 6 albums and Heaven and Hell are all tied for the best sabbath album. They all are equally great in there own way. This album has 9 classic tracks, even E5150 is a classic. Iommi is one of the great Guitarists, and Dio can flat out sing. Its hard to pick the best song, its between The Sign of The Southern Cross, County Girl, and Turn Up the Night.

Mob Rules
CD $17.58  SALE 5 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings of "Wiener Blut" which are eventually overcome by a guitar crunching juggernaut. This strange mix of styles is more effective here than it has been for about a decade, and there's no threat of the album becoming ponderous either as the economical tracklist and purposeful songs wipe away the sins of their previous album, 2005's ROSENROT. The group's loyal fans have remained with them through the '00s and have braved all the difficult but ultimately rewarding efforts that came with it. To them, LIEBE ...

CD $15.80  SALE 4.7 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
When SONIC BOOM was released, it had been over a decade since the last Kiss studio album, so expectations were understandably high. In addition, the intervening period had seen the band fire two of its founding members for the second time, only to replace them with sidemen wearing Ace Frehley and Peter Criss's iconic makeup. Luckily, the new additions, unlike some of Kiss's "un-masked years" members, have a good feel for classic Kiss. That fact, matched with Paul Stanley's assumption of production duties, makes SONIC BOOM one of the most consistent and thoroughly Kiss-sounding albums since the group's `70s heyday. That said, the New York City unit manages to branch out a bit; alongside very ROCK & ROLL OVER/LOVE GUN-esque tracks such as the Gene Simmons-sung rockers "Yes I Know (Nobody's Perfect)" and "Russian Roulette," sit ambitious pieces such as "Stand," which ...

CD $6.55  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Taking a dip in sales with their previous effort UNMASKED, Kiss decided to deliver a more hard-driving rock album and enlisted the aid of Bob Ezrin, the man who produced DESTROYER (their most successful studio album). Upon his hiring, Ezrin discarded the heavy rock demos Kiss had recorded and suggested the band experiment with a concept album, a Kissified version of THE WALL. Disgruntled at the band's new direction, Ace Frehley only contributed one track, "Dark Light" (featuring a blistering solo), and aside from basic tracks, the rest of the record was completed without him. THE ELDER is a creative left ...
